"The Decepticons are a ruthless band of robot warriors. They were driven by a single un-deviating goal...total domination of the universe. In the war that reaged between Decepticons and Autobots for millions of years, their home planet of Cybertron was drained of it's once-rich sources of energy. In hopes of finding new reserves for making energon, their basic fuel, the Decepticons followed the Autobots to Earth."

"Under the leadership of the ruthless Megatron, the Decepticons continued their conflict against the remaining Autobot Forces. They attacked throughout the Earth and in space using their underwater headquarters as a staging base and bunker."

"But, by the year 2000, the Decepticons had proven to be the losers of the last great war. In an attempt to bolster the Decepticon strength, the evil planet-gobbling world, Unicron, re-formed Megatron into a new robot named Galvatron to lead the Decepticons in a new era. Now, in 2006, the Decepticons have retreated to a burnt-out hulk of a planet called Chaar, a world of ash and ruin."

"Galvatron and his Decepticon lieutenants, the sleek and awesome Cyclonus, and the mighty Scourge, the master of the dreaded Sweeps, strike fear throughout the universe. Their ultimate goal, to re-conquer Cybertron, and destroy the Autobots".

Apologies for the overly-long nostalgia trip there. Just had to get that off my chest. Been watching a lot of G1 lately.

By the year 2005 the Autobots were the losers of the Cybertronian Wars, for the Decepticons had conquered their home planet. But from secret staging grounds on two of Cybertron's moons, the valiant Autobots prepare to retake their home world.
